This project is to develop a way to use an Icom AH4 automatic antenna tuner with a Kenwood radio. Most Kenwood radios support the AT300 tuner, so the approach is to design a protocol converter that converts the protocol used by the AH4 to the AT300 protocol to allow full integration with the Kenwood radios that support the AT300.
| Serial | Task | Status |
| 1 | Search for available solutions | Done, one commercial device found. |
| 2 | Search for documentation on the relevant protocols. | Done, AH4 protocol already understood, AT300 described in AT300 manual. |
| 3 | Source AT300 connector, AH4 connector. | Done. |
| 4 | Design hardware compatible with AH4E project, prototype. | |
| 5 | Develop software | |
| 6 | Test | |
| 7 | Document |
Consideration is being given to development of a similar protocol converter specifically to adapt the SGC tuners to the Kenwood AT300 interface, but availability of a tuner is an issue at the moment.
A low impact, flexible, frequency agile antenna for HF.
